Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Raok For A Stranger :)


--by DrJoe, posted Jun 1, 2025
Stopped at a gas station this afternoon and saw a man nearby working for a water utility company. I asked him if he'd like something to drink as it's rather toasty outside. He must have thought I was joking at first, but I told him I'd run inside and get him something to drink if he'd like.

A few minutes later I walked back outside and handed him a cold bottle of water and some Skittles. He still seemed shocked by this RAOK but was extremely appreciative and gave me many thanks and blessings :)
